About this Class

Attend this webinar and learn about a genomics data toolkit, AmpliconSuite, and its companion research platform, AmpliconRepository.

UC San Diego’s Dr. Jens Luebeck will review:

  • the biological motivation of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) and how AmpliconSuite can reveal the mechanistic preferences of ecDNA formation across different cancer types.
  • AmpliconSuite’s computational workflow for analyzing focal amplifications from whole-genome sequencing data.
  • the AmpliconRepository where researchers can share and explore focal amplifications, and how to use this data platform to answer research questions.
  • new biological findings that come out of analyzing focal amplifications in large numbers of samples.
